Doctors Urge Health Ministry to Scrap NEET PG 2025 Cutoff Reduction Amid Protest Threats
Strongly opposing the National Board of Examinations (NBE) decision to reduce the qualifying cut-off percentile for the National Eligibility Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2025 exam to zero percentile, the doctors have written to the Union Health Ministry seeking its intervention.
Pointing out how the reduction of cut-off to zero percentile and allowing candidates scoring even -40 to pursue the PG medical courses and become specialist doctors is a "blow to meritocracy" and a "direct threat to patient safety and public health", the doctors under the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) and the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) have urged the Union Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda, to reverse this decision.
